FREE LESSON- The Magazine Subject Drawing Lesson #1
This lesson demonstrates how realism can occur using correct shading. Students take an image from a magazine and glue it to a card stock. They cut the image in half allowing them to then draw the other half of the face. This lesson builds confidence in learning to shade correctly. It is best to first teach the basic three forms of shading first, then blending techniques.
FREE LESSON-The Magazine Subject Using Primary Colors Lesson #2
This is the advanced lesson of the Magazine Mirror Lesson only the student uses primary colors instead of lead. This lesson should be taught within a unit on color. This lesson is a great introduction to color. Because all printed color comes from RGB students discover this fact from applying the same colors only using primary and neutral colors last. I also encourage students to use a q-tip of baby oil at the end to create a more dynamic illustration by making areas opaque.
FREE LESSON- The Magazine Drawing Lesson #3
This final series of lessons approaches the application of the pencil by applying a tracing method of transferring the image, then applying color.
